Echoes from the Press.


A Hard Time all Around.
The president is having a hard
time. No sooner is former friend
of his, Maria Halpin, married and
out of the public eye, than his old
army substitute, George Brlnskl,
turns up in the soldiers home at Bath.
n. Y, and makes affidavit that Mr..
Cleveland paid him only $50, but
promised if he came back with an
honorable discharge he would do
more for him. That promise has not
been kept, though he saw the presi-
dent and asked him to get him out of
the poor house after his health failed,
(he is now in consumption) but the
president went into another room and
saw him no more. This is private
affair and probably Mr.. Cleveland
viii not feel that he can condescend
to answer, but if the soldiers state
ment is untrue it ought to be answer
ed. If it is true, Mr.. Cleveland
ought to be ashamed of himself, and
if not, every honorable man in the
country will be ashamed for him and
u good many will be ashamed of him
p. Sit is not likely that Mr.
Brinslli will be well enough to 90 tc

For some months past very hard feel
ing has existed between the citizens OF
lIeoti and Coronado. two small towns in
Wallace county. Kansas. over the loca-
Ton Of the county seat. II is located at
The latter place now, but the citizens of
Leoti are attempting to have 1t moved
10 their town. On the afternoon Of the
lat a party of Leoti citizens, consisting
of Frank Jonness, a. y. Darcy. George
Watkins. Emmett Dcnning. Charles
Coulter. Bill Rains and man named
johnson, went to Coronado. Upon en-
tering that town they noticed suspicious
movements among some Of the citizens
who were standing on the pavement in
front of one of the stores. Some OF the
party got out of the wagon, but they
had no sooner done so when they were
greeted with volley of bullets. Coul-
ter. Rains and johnson were instantly
killed, and the others wounded. some
fatally. A few days later party from
Leoti ventured too near Coronado and
were fired at. but no one killed. An
election will be held there shortly, the
voting place being at 1,eoti, and another
bloody set-to is anticipated.

On Thursday morning, at about 10
o'clock. the usual quietuds Of Mseker
was turned into great excitement over
the report that John j. Mckee had been
fatally shot by Sim Carter. An inves-
tigation proved, however, that briefly
the relort WAS correct, excepting that
the wound did not prove fatal. The
causes which led to the shooting are
about Us follows:
IL appears that the two mentioned
above. together with several other per-
sous, were engaged In game oi cards
al the Cabinet saloon; a dispute arose
concerning some play and Mckee WAS
opposing II IN forcible terms; Carter re-
marked that he ought To quit his kick
ing; Mckee said II he did kick. he
would kick him Carter through tire
window; one word brought on another.
and McKe. struck Carter; the two then
jumped up. spared n little and ciinched;
they were parted and Mckee pulled his
coat and started for Carter with chair.
but this was taken from him; they got
together again. however, and clinched I;
after being parted Mckee M, down; n
minute OF two later he picked up the
cs,se-kcrprr from the faro layout. and
made for Carter again; Carter re-
treated. turned and with some words
cautioned Mckee not To come nearer |:
the latter ignored this. and was about
to strike Carter when he Carter pulled
his gun and lrcd; Mckee turned to-
ward the bar and remarked tina, lie VA,

his home.

some %. our White river cattlcmen
have not taken kindly TO the actions of
few Of their Bear river brcthcrn in
allowing Bear river cattle To sncroach
on the winter range Of the White river
men. II il alleged that the Bear river
s,ockmen made no effort last summer
to save their own winter range and in
consequence their cattle have suffered.
We were informed by bear river cat
tieman the other day that nearly all the
stockmen on the Bear and its tributaries
are In favor Of keeping the cattle of
and an effort In that direction will bc
made when the spring roundup Assem-.
bles. Right here We might mention
that there was no unaDmity Of action on
this same matter among White river
cattlcmen, and more particularly those
located on the south side Of the river
themselves during last summer. The
forthcoming meeting Of the Assccia-
ton should take this matter in hand
and give II the consideration II merits.
II is clearly to the interest Of every cat
tlcman on White river to see TO 1t that
the winter range Is protected.
Advices from Montana still continue
to show that the losses among cattle and
sheep in that territory will range
from 25 to 75 per cent. Most Of the
stock papers say the reports sent out by
special correspondents are exaggerated,
while ON the other hand the bulk of the
evidence seems to be on tho side of the
correspondents.
